Good points, Elizabeth! I agree that politicians would benefit from some work outside the political realm. I also appreciate your reminder, "... that people tend to become what you encourage them to be, not what you nag them to be."
As to the feedback politicians receive, much of the positive is simply sucking-up for future favors, and the negative is just to get under the politician's skin. The ultimate feedback comes in two forms: re-election or "don't let the door hit you in the ***." Neither is useful to improving performance.
Thanks Bruce for your comments and thoughts. Wouldn't it be great if there were a better means to give feedback and improve performance for politicians? Any suggestions or ideas?
